Greatest former UNC athlete by state (Alaska): C.J. Hooker

Posted May 11, 2019
C.J. Hooker had options coming out of high school where he could have gone to college and played basketball. But the draw of going to UNC and getting a chance to play for the Heels was too much to pass up. So, in 2001, Hooker, a 6-foot-2, 188-pound scoring dynamo from Palmer, AK, (43 miles from Anchorage) made the 3,434-mile trek to Chapel Hill. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
